What are your data-related needs?
While everyone's journey through data-intensive R&D is different, most follow one of four R&D journeys. Click through to learn more about the journey your organization is on.
YOU ARE ON AN AUTOMATION JOURNEY
Your business is facing an evolving market. Your legacy processes have worked well enough for a long time, but now as you see your industry changing around you, you need to tighten your belt and be smarter with your resources. You're going to need to leverage the creative and technical skill sets of your people heavily during this period of change, but right now they're tied up doing the manual work required for your ops to run. Whether they're busy doing data management, scheduling, invoicing, or servicing customers, you're busy paying them to do tedious, repetitive work that machines can do cheaper, faster, and better.
No matter how you currently run your operations, as masters of process automation Komodo will identify the key activities that your people no longer need to perform to keep things running. With cost-effective machines that understand your business logic on your side, you'll be able to take your people off the front lines and put them in positions where they can shine, all while saving serious cash.
You, now.
System Design & Integration
2-4 months
In this phase of the journey, we’ll dive deep into your existing processes to identify the critical path for your automation opportunities. Our goal is to understand your systems inside and out - from inputs and outputs to the underlying logic and data flows. We'll assess existing company-approved tools to determine if they can be configured to handle new automation requirements, and configure them as needed. If current tools are insufficient, new tools will be selected, deployed, and integrated into the company's architecture. Our emphasis will be on identifying robust open-source options to minimize costs by avoiding expensive annual licensing fees.
Intelligent Process Orchestration
2-4 months
If data drives your ops, we’ll program machines to manage the flow. Some of the highest ROI automation opportunities are the manual processes which pass data between your systems, between you and your vendors, and between you and your customers. Retrieving, cleaning, processing, and sending data are tasks that machines are uniquely good at in ways that humans aren't. If you want the same data-centric task done exactly the same way every time with consistent quality, you don't want a human on the job. We’ll replace this manual work with slick data integrations, smart data warehousing, and custom algorithms that you can actually understand (no black boxes here).
Team Training & Empowerment
2-4 months
Finally, we’ll help you reallocate resources in your post-automation world. Your people are your single biggest asset, and they always were. Now that your repeatable tasks are in the hands of very capable machines that answer to you like good little soldiers, your investment in automation has earned you an opportunity to better leverage human intelligence. Having worked alongside them throughout this project, we’ll be able to assess your team’s capabilities and help you to optimally deploy them on higher-impact problems where they can do the work that machines are not good at. Imagine a world where you can upskill a group of ex-data entry monkeys into a newly minted business analysis team. Komodo will lead you through realizing these returns on your automation investment.
You, transformed.

YOU ARE ON AN INSIGHTS JOURNEY
Your business needs to make better decisions, faster. On one hand, you've got a data problem; your data comes from many different sources, it's hard to know which data represents the "truth", and your people are passing around multiple versions of the same spreadsheet that always seems to be out of date.
On the other hand, you've got an analysis problem. You're able to do basic counts and aggregations, but success or failure will depend on much more than simple analyses – to see deeper into your data you're going to need to apply state-of-the-art data science techniques. Whether you need to run simulations or develop predictive algorithms, at the end of the day you need your speed of insight extraction to keep up with the pace at which business-critical decisions must be made.
No matter how disconnected your data and your decisions have become, Komodo will integrate them in a way that aligns with your organization's strategic objectives.
You, now.
Data Warehouse Design & Implementation
3-5 months
We’ll design & implement a scalable and secure data warehouse architecture that centralizes and organizes your data, enabling efficient data storage and rapid retrieval. We’ll set up data models, ETL processes, and tools for security and compliance. Best of all, we’ll work hand in hand with your team the entire way, so that they understand what’s happening underneath the hood, and can troubleshoot and improve things on the fly going forward.
Data Systems Integration
2-3 months
We'll get your data systems talking to each other. No more emailing versioned spreadsheets and triple-checking whether a data point is from today or from last month. You’ll have a central repository for business data, providing a reliable foundation for decision-making processes and future data-driven initiatives. We'll integrate your key data sources with the systems that need that data as input. Live feeds of structured, organized data give your systems, and more importantly your people, a comprehensive and up-to-date view of the business.
BI Tool Configuration & Dashboard Development
2-3 months
Here comes the fun part. We'll set up a Business Intelligence (BI) tool that plays well with your systems. No more digging through spreadsheets or waiting for reports. We'll build user-friendly, web-based dashboards that let your people interact with data in real-time. You'll spot trends, catch issues early, and track your progress towards goals. Best of all, you'll be fostering a data-driven culture that'll speed up decision-making across your whole organization. Now you’re turning your data into your secret weapon.
You, transformed.

YOU ARE ON AN ARCHITECTURE JOURNEY
Your business is growing and things are going well; you've got the people, the systems, and the processes in place to deliver high-quality services to your customers. There's a big question mark looming on the horizon, though. You believe in your people, but you're not sure if these same systems and processes are going to continue to cut it as the business grows. You're aiming for scale, but maybe your systems won't work at the scale you're aiming for.
Custom architecture is your ticket to stability as you evolve. Your knowledge, data, and offerings are not like everybody else's, so neither should your systems be. As expert architects, Komodo will design and build the proprietary systems that support your people, processes, and growth.
You, now.
Business Data Strategy
1-2 months
Show us where you want to go, and we'll design the ship. Sit us down and show us your strategic roadmap. We'll assess the current state of your systems—your goals, your business processes, and your pain points—and work backward from your destination to identify the gaps. As the blueprint begins to take shape, you'll start to see the horizon more clearly. Our report will guide the architecture initiative, ensuring technology investments align with strategic needs and support growth and efficiency.
Infrastructure Modernization & Migration
3-6 months
Upgrade your systems to match your ambitions. If any of your legacy systems won't support you where you're going, we'll design and execute the upgrade to a modern, scalable solution that fits your exact needs. Whether it's moving to the cloud or giving your team better tools to handle data, Komodo will lead and support you through the transition. We'll build a system that can handle more data, more users, and more complexity - but we’ll do it with minimal fuss, keeping your crucial business processes running smoothly.
Custom Data Engineering Solutions
2-3 months
We'll build and launch systems that support your unique business processes. If you've got highly specialized business processes that need to run at scale, Komodo will design and build custom solutions to support them. Imagine a world where a proprietary model trained on your company data dynamically generates outputs for your customers, or an AI system that knows your business logic automatically recognizes and flags fraudulent transactions. Don't waste time and money testing off-the-shelf tools that are designed to meet generic needs. Create your own reality with custom tech that drives your key business goals and gives you a serious edge.
You, transformed.

YOU ARE ON A NEW PRODUCTS JOURNEY
You want to create a new product that will help you break into new markets and generate net new revenue, but you're not sure how to get started or whether it's even feasible at all. You suspect that more value can be extracted from your proprietary data and delivered to these customers, but you're not sure what that additional value is or how it can be packaged into an enticing offering. Above all, your organization lacks the technical expertise and experience to run a data-centric research and development effort. You know that in theory you could slowly build a product development team through hiring to meet the demands of this task, but by the time that team is complete the opportunity may be gone.
You, now.
Generate Unique Insights From Proprietary Data
2-3 months
Your proprietary data makes your future data product unique. It differentiates your product your competitor’s. We will start by bringing the data together to create insights that your customers may be interested in. Let’s make to maximize the value of your data!
